How insensitive . . . I must have seemed
   when she told me that she loved me . . .
   how unmoved an' cold . . . I must have seemed
   when she told me so sincerely . . .
  
   Why . . . she must have asked
   do I just turn an' stare in icy silence?
   What was I to say . . .
   what can you say when a love affair is over?
  
   < instrumental break >
  
   Now, she's gone away
   and I'm alone with a memory of her last look . . .
   vague an' drawn an' sad . . . I see it still
   all her heartbreak in that last look . . .
  
   How . . . she must have asked
   could I just turn an' stare in icy silence?
   What was I to do . . .
   what can one do when a love affair is over?
  
   What can you do
   when a love affair is over?
  
   It's over . . .
